Dakota County approved a maximum 18.5% property tax levy increase for 2027 - at a time when Minnesota’s $18 billion surplus could have been used to ease the burden on taxpayers instead of pushing more costs onto local communities. I will work to build a responsible State budget that delivers value for taxpayers and helps families keep more of their hard-earned money.

Last weekend was a great celebration of the Fourth of July and America’s 250th birthday. It was great seeing so many people at the parades in Afton and Hastings - thanks to everyone who came out! I hope you had a chance to enjoy the holiday weekend with family and friends, and reflect on the sacrifices made by those who have served our country.
